Did we have any trolls on this board?


Ever since I been going to this board it seem like a peaceful fun board. Everyone here seem real cool, I never noticed any one negative on this board.

reply

Same here. And most boards I visited were the same, though I occasionally saw a few that just wanted to fight with people about their opinions. Definitely never anything enough to warrant eliminating the boards entirely and most certainly nothing that I ever saw occur on this particular board.

This is why we are all so dismayed and upset.



"You met me at a very strange time in my life"

That is what I saw as well especially on the Walking Dead board, on the Beyonce board....it's a bunch 25 and under on that page and they have nothing better else to do. The rest of the boards I been to is people having different opinions like you said.

reply

on other boards I have been called a troll, been called fat and ugly and was told to kill myself, its no wonder why these boards have so many complaints its the cliques who cause the problems

reply

scrubbs... I was on the FH board for a while [right in the heart of the Haley crap] and I came to the conclusion to just stop posting on that board. Half of the solution is not adding to the problem.

Scrubbygirl, I had a very similar experience on the American Horror Story board. Just like the other poster mentioned, it's the cliques...which to me is so cheesy.
I think a lot of these abrasive users were individuals who were probably bullied or the dork growing up...so now they hide behind a computer, develop cliques, and they feel a sense of importance. I do too, think these users are to be blamed for IMDB shutting down..that and the rise of social media which I do not use at all.

No real trolls but we did have a situation with [I swear] one poster creating like 8 or so accounts so that she would have someone to talk to. no one would reply to her posts because they were just illegible and she combatted this with creating many, many other posters to reply to her posts.

SydLorraine and I thought this because all of the posters would write the same. with Spanish here and spanglish there... it was really weird. and there would be like two new posters per week. very strange.

in any event, I did a little research and I went to see if I could find any posts from the main person. none lately. and none from the other posters.

who are you talking about?

reply

The Family Ties board frequently gets nasty...shame too. It was another of the shows I grew up with

reply

I told you, she's not here anymore but her name was Dominicanredangel. and a few of the strikingly similar posters were...

morganlovherkidz
gretakendalljosh
chantelkidcomehome2013

the weird thing is that the avatars to some of them caused scrutiny. Morgan's was an avatar of a woman [Syd and I thought it was her] giving a big smooch to a boy about 10. disgusting.


not trolls necessarily, but the entire situation was quite bizarre.

I've said it before but the 90210 board posters are AWESOME! People are always quick to give a response and very respectful (and insightful). I'll really, really miss this. Thanks everyone for all the great discussions. :(

Please sign this petition to keep the imdb message boards! The founder Col Needham is planning on getting rid of them on Feb. 20th. :(

That came to my mind also as soon as I saw this thread. 

reply

I remember that, too. I've seen people talk to their own socks in an attempt to be funny, but it seemed like "they" were having serious discussions. Bizarre 


reply

Oh, good. when Syd and I called them out on their BS a lot of people gave us flack about it.

'almonzo is mi crush!' -- that was one of the last threads she wrote on the little house board.

reply

I only ever had trouble with one poster...

reply

I don't frequent this board alot but I must say, this is one of the few boards that have alot of traffic with very little trolling. I ask a question regarding the show, I always get a honest response. Not all boards are like that, go to TWD board, you ask a question there, you get a lot of juvenile "won't answer the question" response.

reply

I know right so true, I'm starting to hate that The Walking Dead board I keep going back because I love the show and I may have question or want to read the comments.

reply

It's probably less fun for passionate Andrea fans. Or Kelly lovers. But screw those people. 

reply

Do those people exist?! ?

reply

Define troll though.

Sometimes people ask serious questions and I give some smart ass/make fun of the show answer(similar to Nuts and a few others). So in that sense I'm kind of trollish. But I don't really get mean about it or whatever so in that sense I'm not.

reply

This board has been great.
Some have complained about there being trolls on the 'Little House On The Prairie" board, which I also visit.
But I find the ones they call trolls funny. They don't appear to be bullies and just stare negative opinions about the cast, and some of it is hilarious! But some get all offended that their favorite characters are being insulted.
We do that some here too,but it is all in good fun.
